I claim:

1. In an air pump for gas machines the a movable air receiver, a liquid receptacle, an inverted vessel having one end hinged to and its other end extend' ing in said receptacle, means for imparting to-said vessel, an air pipe having one end in said vessel above the water level andleading into the air receiver, said receiver and engaging with said means for imparting re- Aciprocatory movement to said vessel for controlling the action of said inverted vessel.

2. In an air pump for gas machines conii'ising a liquid receptacle, an inverted vessel hinged thereto and provided with an air inlet valve, an air'pipe having one end in said vessel above the water level and leading outside the receptacle a rotating means arranged in operative relationwith respect to said vessel, and means connected with said rotatable means for giving reciprocating motion to said vessel.
